Once or twice a month, my two partners in crime and I would hit town exploring some of the more exciting F&B offerings KL has to offer. Entier French Dining in Alila Bangsar has been on our list for quite some time and after three failed attempts, we finally paid…

“On weekends, I sleep until I’m hungry and eat until I’m sleepy.” Beats and Brunch at Lafite, Shangri-la Hotel Kuala Lumpur starts Sunday on the right note with their “all you can eat” modern French cuisine comprising entrées, main courses and desserts by their executive chef Olivier Pistre. And what…
I’ve wanted to get seats for Dinner in the Sky Malaysia (DITS) but they were sold out before I could even inquire about price. Fortunately for me, Kronenbourg 1664 extended an invite to me shortly after that. Part of Kronenbourg 1664’s “Taste the French Way of Life” campaign, Dinner in…
Dining at DC Restaurant by Darren Chin in TTDI has been something I wanted to do, penned into the list of things I ought to try as a food writer and enthusiast. The opportunity came recently when I joined some friends for a catchup dinner at the restaurant, where I…

Mezze in Medan Damansara is one of my favourite restaurants to dine at because the place is cosy and the food, unpretentious. I’ve become quite a regular partly because it’s near home and I love the vibe. Plus, the chef makes a mean carbonara; my usual order for the past…
